The sports enthusiasts are back with the final podcast of 2024.
We review the high school state championship games with a salute to Camas and Seton Catholic.
Then we get into a serious discussion on the voting process for WIAA amendments, and we tackle some of the biggest amendments that will be voted on in 2025, including a new transfer rule for high school athletics as well as transgender issues in high school athletics.
One of our experts notes that even if one of the amendments passes, he is not sure the WIAA can adopt the amendment because it might not be legal in the state of Washington.
We welcome winter sports, and note that there is a big basketball tournament in the region after Christmas and a huge wrestling extravaganza that week, as well.
And, of course, we touch on college and pro sports a bit.
Our podcast format is simple: A longtime sports reporter (Paul Valencia) discusses high school sports, and more, with longtime sports administrators and former coaches. Cale Piland is the former head football coach at Evergreen and Union and is now the athletic director for Evergreen Public Schools. Tony Liberatore is a former assistant coach and athletic director at Columbia River and is now an associate principal at Fort Vancouver.
